It's about the novel by Alan Hollinghurst, The Line of Beauty (2004), and the 3-part television mini-series of the same name made and broadcast by the BBC last summer.

The title is, "The Line of Beauty: Preparing a 'gay novel' for a mainstream television audience".

I'm handing it in tomorrow, so I'd appreciate comments (after the deadline I'm likely never to want to read it again!). It needs another round of proof-reading, which I plan to do myself before submitting it, but is otherwise complete.

Most of it is not specifically gay, but I do address the depiction of homosexuality in that programme and on British television in general (the latter briefly). It would be most of interest if you've read the book and seen the series, though just seeing the series might suffice if you ever intend to read the book; it discusses the differences between the two.

I remember a couple of people said they'd be interested a while back, but that's when it was much more general. Now it is very specific in what it covers (which is a good thing, because I could have written several books on homosexuality in recent British television and film, which is what I was originally looking to address).

If you're interested, MSN me or send me an email.

Thanks!

David
